New in #3

February 20, 2016

I had to write this months New in post because I want to use so many of these products but I have to wait to take photos of them while they are still intact and pretty. So this is a collective new in and that means that all of this was bought in many visits to Kozmo. Kozmo is only drugstore in my city and they have new products rarely. Even when the get something, they are months late on new collections.

Recently they had 30+10% off on makeup and you will see that I bought many Essence stuff. That is because they have their own sale on the products that are being discontinued and I like Essence as a brand. They have some great and some not so great products but even when I buy something that is not that good, I don't regret it because they are so affordable. One big <3 for Essence.

Some of these products I won in a giveaway from Misha from Crossing Beauty. I had a privilege to meet her. She is very sweet, kind and so pretty and she writes one on my favorite beauty blogs so go and visit her.

Catrice Even Skin tone beautyfying foundation is one of the products I got in a giveaway. I have been eying this foundation for quite some time now but Kozmo in my city doesn't carry new Catrice products. Since they discontinued their BB cream that I loved, I was hoping they would replace it with something similar. They didn't, but this foundation is close enough. Its consistency is similar to that BB cream and it has SPF 25. This is one of the products I will certainly buy for myself. Even the shade matches me perfectly.

When I was opening the package and saw Aura blush, I think I screamed a little bit. I am still waiting for Aura to come to my Kozmo, and I know that won't happen any time soon. This is one of the products that I couldn't wait to swatch. Their blushes are popular for reason. They are very, VERY pigmented and they blend nicely.

This Missha hand cream is another thing that made me smile because it has the same name as Misha who gave this to me. What a cute idea! :) This is the first time I've heard about this brand, it seems that it is Korean and cruelty free. It smells like baby powder, quite strong scent when it goes away a bit in a few minutes.

I generally like Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 but I am sorry that we in Croatia don't have that many shades to choose from. The shade Creme De Rose is matte dusty rose with brown undertones and I will use it as a base.

Also I bought Essence All About Nudes palette because in one of her videos, Misha said that this is the only eyeshadow palette she carries with her when she travels. She said that the eyeshadows are creamy and great.

This Essence XXXL Nude lip gloss was abound 7,00kn. Most of the times I wear matte lipsticks so I decided to try something different. Besides from adding gloss, I was hoping that with this shade I can lighten and change colors on some of my darker nude lipsticks.

Next one is Essence liquid lipstick in the shade 01 Colour Party. I already own one from this collection. Their formula is liquid, more like lipgloss so it can be applied over anylip pencil or lipstick.

I bought this Essence I <3 Nude eyeshadow because on one of the dupes profiles on Instagram I saw that it is a dupe for Nyx Taupe blush that many use for contour. This shade has cold greyish undertones so it could be perfect to contour with.

This Catrice Prime and Fine eyeshadow base is one od the products everyone should try, or so they say. Until now I have been using Essence I <3 Stage eyeshadow base which is great too, but it is too orange for me. This Catrice one is bege at first and has no color when you apply it to the lid.

Eveline Color Edition nailpolish in this colour is my favourite nailpolish ever. I bought it so many times and I use it on its own ow over the nailpolishes I want to lighten od give them that light baby pink shiny overlay. It is almost clear in one coat.

This Essence nailpolish is being dicontinued as well, the colur I like, but I noticed that the glitter that it has make the nailpolish rough on nails when you touch it. That is why the previous pink nailpolish comes in handy.

Essence I <3 Trends collection has some pretty good shades of nailpolishes. The Nudes is my favourite, the shade I'm Lost In You is darker nude (obviously I like shades like this), mauve pink and brown... You know. :) The shade Pure Soul is a classic milky beige nailpolish, you can't go wrong with it, while the shade Sunny London is a special one. It is from The Pastels line and the shade is ligh grey and in the bottle looks almost white. Until you paint in on the nails.

I'm not the biggest fan of Maybelline Baby Lips.. I have few of the colored ones that don't moisturize my lips that much. I was talking to a friend of miny just before I went to the drugstore and she told me that the clear ones are better so I decided to give them a try. I like them so far. The only problem is - I have a feeling that they make the most od the lip balms in the way that they have that first layer that is great and different formula then the resto of the lip balm. So when you first try it, it is great, but then you come to the part that is not that great. I know, crazy theory, but sometimes I really think that.
